Pal, We WERE NOT and certainly ARE NOT depth in our rotation. That is my point. We began with Beckett (who was coming from injuries and a terrible 2010 season) Lester (ok, although he always get injured at some point) Buch (nice pitcher but IMO still a rookie and now out) Lackey (give you that, but somehow I saw this coming, not this bad BTW) D-K (he was done at that point, he has been a permanent DL resident) 6th who is he? Wake? You must be kidding me. That was the scenario... And that is it. Where is your depth in your rotation?, Please show me, because I don't see it.
-
We definitely will never know, but I would've planned better since the begging. But again, we didn't need a great or fantastic option, just decent. Anyway...Hope that this team can make the POs and why not, make and win the WS despite the poor sport & administrative management.
-
BTW... The best managers are who plan, forecast and anticipate better = predict better the future and deliver better results with the resouses and budget available. This is not Theo's case, at least last season and 2011? We'll see. Look at NY or TB, they are covered somehow...the rich one is deploying behind of tons of money (like us) and didn't even make a move before the trade deadline because they thought that planned just well since the beginning ... and the other? has been working its farm system very nice.
-
This! He should anticipate that. And certainly, he didn't. It's funny and at the same time encouraging how you rate our farm, just as if we had the ultimate promising full of prospects ever and certainly we are not even close to have that at this point. Jimenez was there and we could push harder for Kuroda or someone... but again, that is exactly Theo's damn job, Anticipate and Forecast bringing the right pieces in order to be covered for a sudden eventuality like this. BTW why you always try to compare the options with another teams' pitchers? We just needed a #3-#4 FULLY HEALTHY PITCHER, that's it, and Bedard certainly ain't the answer for our reality (present tense), and please no more "if he is healthy" cause he isn't.
-
Sure, they have to lead off the row! Seriously, We have a solid 1-3, and our 4th-10th (as Pal says ) are crap. And you just can't be that confident thinking that any of those three can get an injury or get into a deep slump (like Lackey). He should've brought a solid and fully healthy SP, was it easy? certainly nope, noboady said that, but that my friend, is his job and is what is paid for, to make that things happen using his "management" abilities.
-
Exactly.

It's funny how people here spend a loooot of time planning and talking about future and excusing a GM which has plenty access to the money and one of the highest payrolls in baseball, and what is worse, already failed last year and at this point he has the team in jeopardy to make the playoffs. IMO The ONLY outcome I would expect as an owner is at least the WS and if you rush me, win it; I don't care the injuries, I don't care players' personal problems, I don't care the damn Phillies or NY, and certainly I don't care the OPS and ERAs; I already put the damn money; With 180 MUSD payroll he has to plan, forecast and anticipate all these issues that any team can experiment, that is his DAMN JOB, but again, with the plus that he has access to the LIGHT=MONEY. Can't handle all these factors and deliver results? GO! as simple as that. Sure, it ain't over yet, We'll se how it ends.

I pushed that button again
-
Seriously, When was the last time that our SPs gave us at least 7IP?,
-
-
Here we go.... The damn farm again! Are you really concern to give up Weiland, Doubront? Really? Jimenez was available among other. Nobody is talking about matching the philli rotation, just give us the opportunity to make at least the playoffs, thing that is not granted anymore. And please do not excuse Theo, that is his damn job, bring the pieces.
-
[/b] Yup, he must have known that he wasn't the answer, and that is GM's responsibility.
-
That's the problem, That is the damn problem, he is not fully healthy, he brought a damn unhealthy pitcher that haven't given us more than 6IP and taxing BTW the pen, and right now, he is still among cottons; is that what we needed?, definitely no. He didn't make his job, he should've brought someone fully healthy and solid, and that my friend is his Damn job and responsibility, This is for what he is paid among other, plain and simple.
-
True. He didn't bring someone healthy and solid.
-
This is our damn issue and concern “When you have a run of bad starting pitching it does tax the bullpen. There’s a little bit of an effect on the offense as well. These guys go to bat early in the game feeling like they’re down 5-0. Sometimes they are, sometimes it just feels that way. Especially with our kind of approach where you need to be patient, you need to have good at bats and have the other guy drive you in, kind of a group offense mentality, it’s hard to have that kind of at bats when you feel like you have to put a crooked number on the board all the time."
